Having problems with your Electrolux EL5020 Vacuum ?

We have an electrolux el5020 and the brushes don't operate.

\015 We have had no problems with this vacuum until now. We turned it on today and the brushes don't operate. The belt is fine and turn freely. Switching between bare floor mode and carpet mode has no effect. Last time we used it, the brushes worked fine. Nothing has been jammed in the brushes. Seems like the front shaft driving the belt for the brushes just turns freely. Is this driven by a separate motor? Is there a fuse for that motor? Any ideas\015

Brushes not turning Electrolux Intensity (EL5020)

The brush on my Electrolux Ambassador III vacum stops turning after vacuming for only a few minutes every time I use it. The power nozzel is less than a year old and except for the brush not wanting to turn, it operates just fine. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

I have a nearly 9 year old Electrolux Excellio Z5228 vacuum cleaner. It has recently started cutting out during operation. I cleaned the micro filter (between bag & motor) via brush & hitting against wall & seems / looks quite clean. I washed the gore filter (output from motor to clean the exhaust air) as per instructions, then let to dry. It was very clogged but now very clean. The vacuum clearner still cuts out often. Even after a long rest (say overnight) it still won't start, then ano

Put a new belt on to operate the beater brush and the belt is very loose. same number of belt as the one that came off. how do I get it tight enough to operate the brush?

Power brush will only operate on push stroke

If the motor runs, the circuit breaker is working. If it only works on the push stroke, you probably have burnt contacts where the handle and/or wands and/or power head connect. When you push, the contacts are pressed together; when you pull, they ar ...

Now that I just fixed my Lux Legacy canister vacuum, I need help on my other Electrolux Regency Series upright! The vacuum works fine but the rotating brush does not work and the brush motor does not turn on. Tried cleaning the brush and hitting hte reset button to no avail. This upright has a triple setting switch and I checked the each of the wires seem to be attached. Tried rotating the brush by hand and it would not budge. Was going to "encourage" the brush to turn with a set of articula

My Electrolux Regency Series upright vacuum brush motor does not activate. Cleaned the brush and press reset to no avail. Opened handle switch assembly and checked each wire attached to all three switch settings. Tried disassembling brush assembly but could not pry open after removing all screws.

Dyson dc07 The rotating brush on the bottom of my vacuum was filled with strings. I removed the brush by undoing all yellow plastic screws from plate. Removed all strings and replaced as best I could and it was hard to get the brush back in and the belt around it. I dont have my manual but it fits so it should be correct....? Right? No, not true, because when I turn it on and try to and vacuum (by lower canister with foot release) it makes that terrible ratching sound). Please help

The loud ratching is a warning to tell you that there is something stopping the roller bar from rotating this is a very common thing lay the machine on the floor front side down take off the bottom plate and just check the belt is in the centre of th ...

Hi, I have not owned my electrolux pronto 2 in 1 for very long but the roller brush has stopped turning. The handheld part works and the green light is on. I have done a thorough cleaning of the roller brush and all other removable parts. What might be causing the roller brush to not work? Thanks, Jen

We have a Hoover upright vacuum cleaner, model Core 7. There is a switch that turns on and off the brush drive. This operates via a cam with a bearing putting pressure on the final drive belt to engage the brush head.
My brush head is not turning and with the lever set to engage the drive there is still considerable slack in the final drive belt.
There appears to be only a bearing deflecting the belt, should there be a pully or other device mounted on this bearing? There is so much slack a

Yes, there should have been a white plastic sprocket on top of the bearing - in its channel the belt would sit. Unfortunately no parts are available for this unit that can be bought retail - only available by order to dealer repair shops.\012\012\012 ...

I have a Guardian that we purchased maybe 10 years ago. The swivel joint connecting to the brush head has worn and the brush does not operate unless you turn to extream angle. How do i resolve?

If this is the same one as what is pictured in the picture next to your description, then this is a common problem. For starters you will want to disconnect the power brush from the wands or poles. Look on the neck piece, towards th ...

While operating machine, brush does not rotate. Button is pushed in, all hair cleaned off brush. Is there a reset button? Where is it located?

I have a DC14 with a bad belt to the roller.How do I remove the clutch that operates the belt to turn the roller. I am holding the assembly that houses the clutch and all screws are out, it appears the red knob that engages the drive to operate the roller brush must be removed. Please advise and how.
Thanks,

I cut all of the hair out of the bottom of the spin-brush on the Dyson Upright Animal Vacuum. Now I dont think I can get the brush back in there correctly. If I squeeze it in there (which it is a VERY tight fit...) then it wont spin. Any thoughts?

I have an electrolux genesis upright vacuum that I bought used about 8 years ago. It has been A great vacuum the best I ever had. I thought the belt had come off so I took it in for repair. They called today and said that the brush rotor motor was bad and it would be around 148.00 dollars to repair. My question is could I buy the part and have my husband replace it or would it be too complicated. Can you still buy an electrolux vacuum comparable to this one and how much are they. I love this vac

I have a Electrolux , EL6988 Canister Vacum, howeveer the brushes and motor will not run when turned on. I have take the plates and cleaned around the brushes, but it will not come one. The vacum comes on but the motorized bushes do not activate. Thanks I have lost my owners manual, and have looked for the reset button and can't find or know where it is located. Any suggestions.

Changed the motor carbon brushes on my Beam central vacuum cleaner equiped with an IntelliWatch system. This system includes the Alutron DB100 module. This Alutron module needs to be reset so that the vacuum cleaner can operate properly. I believe that this module keeps log of running time and disables operation after a predetermined time. Can you help me with providing a reset procedure that will reset this module. Thanks

Vacuum brush Well thank you for your response but how do you remove the brush cover plate? I looked to see if I could unscrew it but i dont see any screws. I don't know how to take it off
